A $64M facility opens, and creates 69 jobs, in Scappoose

A new recycled fiber processing plant is set to open today in Scappoose.

Cascades Tissue Group is expected to create 69 new jobs in Scappoose and preserve 114 existing positions in St. Helens.

The strategy was partially backed by a $500,000 investment from the Governor’s Strategic Reserve Fund. Cascades also collected $60,000 to renovate its St. Helens plant in 2014.

“Oregon is proud to make investments into businesses that show promise to create local jobs, generate sustainable growth, and act as catalysts for future economic development in the region," said Oregon Gov. Kate Brown, in a release.
